Seaforth World Naval Review

For over a decade this annual has provided an authoritative summary of all that has happened in the naval world in the previous twelve months, combining regional surveys with one-off major articles on noteworthy new ships and other important developments. Besides the latest warship projects, it also looks at wider issues of significance to navies, such as aviation and weaponry, and calls on expertise from around the globe to give a balanced picture of what is going on and to interpret its significance. A major feature of this edition is an analysis of the naval lessons of the Russo-Ukrainian war, while this year’s Significant Ships describe in depth the US John Lewis class AORs, French Suffren class SSNs and Italian Paolo Thaon di Revel class offshore patrol vessels. The regular Regional Reviews summarise developments in the world’s naval forces but also spotlight the lesser-known fleets of Portugal and the Philippines. In the Technology section, David Hobbs provides his broad-ranging annual survey of naval aviation. Norman Friedman outlines trends in naval technology since the Cold War, while Richard Scott analyses the AN/SPY-6 radar, and the editor looks at the challenges surrounding the delivery of new Royal Navy warships. Now firmly established as the only annual naval overview of its type in the world, The Seaforth World Naval Review is essential reading for professional and enthusiast alike. It takes the reader to the heart of contemporary maritime affairs. ' … this is a marvellous asset for those wishing to keep up to date with naval matters. Very highly recommended.' Warship World
